Give up defining yourself. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

Gotta love Banksy!

 

"Banksy's 23-foot high Stained Window piece is a collaboration with the City of Angels public school in Los Angeles. Students were encouraged to write tags on panels erected in their schoolyard before Banksy adapted them."  -Ref

Oh Land - Son of a Gun

Sometimes, people will surprise you.  Sometimes they just prove time and again that you were dead on with your assessment. 

Keeping with the beautiful disaster bit, I just think this is the most beautiful image. An uncontrollable, devastating, yet ridiculously gorgeous act of nature.  This occurred when Puyehue volcano erupted near Osorno in southern Chile on June 4th, 2011.

This and other fascinating photos from 2011 can be found here on Canada's National Post website.

a beautiful disaster

When floods consumed parts of Pakistan recently, spiders moved to higher ground finding homes and creating cocoons in these trees.  Such beauty would not have existed without provocation.  When life forcefully pushes you in a direction, there may be something magical behind it.  Listen to what you are called to do and do it with passion.  Be amazing.  Astonish.
